Why are girls so obsessed . . .

[Remington]

with SHOES?!? I just don't get it. All I own is a pair of sneakers. Why do girls "need" a hundred pairs of shoes. Capoeira? Frymaker? TooDamnSweet? Any of you ladies like to answer?

well, girls in my school are not only obsessed with shoes, but ALSO purses.. it hurts my ears to hear them babbling incoherently about there "new" "trendy" purses.. i cant stand it. some boys in my grade/school are obsessed with shoes. mainly the basketball players, the MUST have the new pair of jordans or iversons or whatever, me, i only own one pair of etnies.

[yeahthatsme]

i rock the etnies as well

Girls and shoes, wow. I like to have a pair of shoes to either match my outfit or to match my mood. I also have noticed that I wear out my shoes alot faster than my two fathers and my brother - that might also have something to do with it.

Well... here's the thing. They have all different sets of clothes for all different kinds of occassions. Of course they have multiple sets so that when they go to occassion type A... they don't wear their same type A clothes everytime. One get up may work well with camel color boots... but those boots will look horrid on another one of their get ups. Remember: Everything MUST match.

Guys are easier. I have two pairs of shoes... running shoes, and black dress shoes. You see, I can wear slacks and a polo shirt, a black suit, a tuxedo, my clubbing clothes... and I can use those same black shoes. For anything else, running shoes. I don't have to worry if my black shoes are the right color... if they're the right style... how far they go up your leg like a woman's boot would... non-issue.

Blame it on society if you wish. Women's clothing overall... is more complicated... historically. Heck, look at a wedding. Guy wears black suit. Girl wears... this fancy dress that people have to help hoist her into... she can't even zipper it up herself... and it trails a half mile behind her.

Girl lingerie: Just look at V. Secret catalog... TONS of stuff... frilly stuff... very complicated and ornate. Guy lingerie: Take the shirt off and sport the boxers you've been wearing all week. Simple.

So try to think of it this way. Don't think of it as something not understandable... it's just the way it is... just be happy that you're a guy and don't have to deal with it like they do.

miscue pretty much summed it up

Ok, then women have to stop asking guys why they have so many power tools. Cordless drills for example. My dad has 6 cordless drills. Mom badgers him all the time about it.

I learned from my other half. She explained the science behind her wardrobe and shoe situation... and now I understand. Heck, I even look out for shoes/boots for her by keeping track of what clothes she has... and what she's recently bought and stuff... in a weird way I enjoy doing that. I know what size she is with everything, what styles she likes, where to shop for her... etc... I'll be getting her some stuff this Christmas.

Tip for guys: If you go about clothes like women do... they WILL notice and will be impressed by it. 100% GUARANTEED. You have a variety of shoes and stuff... they WILL know and LOVE it. If you can outdress a girl... BROWNIE POINTS for you!!! This DOES NOT mean you aren't straight or something... and they won't think of you that way at all, unless you are... just means you dress well. See, I didn't figure this stuff out until later in life... I thought that dumb people did that kinda thing... worried about stupid stuff. But, I found out it's NOT stupid. You'd be surprised.

I usually dress down at work... but one day I came in my dress clothes... all the girls noticed, and some of them talked about it with me for a week or so after about "how well I clean up." It happens everytime it seems when I dress well... the girls all want me when they gave me zero attention before.

Heck, before my GF became my GF... one of her friends was talking to her about me... all dressed up and stuff. She kinda got jealous that she had an interest in me and was flirting around...

It's a good thing that I didn't figure this out earlier... I think I would have had too many women in my black book... and I'd be much much less innocent...

/me thinks to himself... "Boy those Kenneth Cole shoes look nice... forget my new computer parts... I'm gettin' me a pair of these!" Girlfriend approves... I score brownie points... among other things.

Remember guys: YOU are an ACCESSORY. You must match her just like her shoes. This also answers the question why girls like to dress up their guys. See? All makes sense, huh.

When a guy looks at a girl... he thinks... "Damn she's hot!" When a girl looks at a guy, she thinks... "He's cute, and he goes well with my wardrobe."

Hey 'cue... You need a night out with the guys... SERIOUSLY!!!

[Miscue]

Hey, don't worry. All the clothing stuff is for show. I still have no problem lifting my leg up to a fire hydrant, just like every other regular guy.

I think Miscue just figured out that if the better half is happy then the rest of life is easier.

Perfect example, my wife never complains about how much paintball I play, because no matter how much I play, I still spend more time with her. Oh yeah, I also figured out its the little things more than the big things. She does not want diamonds or pearls, she wants me to have dinner ready when she gets home from a 13 hour day at work. The other day I did something as simple as draw her a bath, light a few candles, and you would have thought I cured cancer

For those of you still listening, relationships only work, when BOTH people work at it.

Ok, I will get off my soapbox now, back to the original intent, my wife does not have all THAT many shoes, but she has like 8 pair of dive booties, I still have not figured that one out.
